“Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” Churchill
HCR today leaves me with mixed feelings. Hope, that people are finally starting to live on earth where lies aren’t truth. And still discouraged that it took this long, and this much evil, to even get here. I’ll focus on the hope!

I’m at a conference in New Orleans where the opening keynote speaker tonight is MAGA governor Jeff Landry. I don’t know whether to skip it, or make a sign…maybe like this one…

Jesse Welles is back with another great song.

Yep. Free and fair elections, that’s the key. And you’d better believe Trump will do absolutely everything in his power to stay in power.

My concern is how to get more Americans in a lane! I heard someone yesterday say he was resigned that we won’t be a true Democracy any longer. I overheard another person saying they just don’t get involved in “these things”. Resignation and denial will not preserve the constitution!
We need all of you ❤️💪

No Kings Denver speaker Joe Salazar (fmr Dem state rep) tells me they estimate 25-30k gathered in Denver today, similar to the No Kings protest earlier this year. This view is from photographer Cheney Orr for the New York Times. #copolitics

This well written article is worth a read. Co-written by our CEO, Dr. Tom Lally. These “wound care” companies are doing real harm to patients, and are spending millions of dollars lobbying against this final rule. CMS should pass the final rule!

This is what Trump promised, and here we are.
NEW: A report from pro-voting groups warns that if the Supreme Court rules to gut a key safeguard against racial gerrymanders this term, it’ll be “enough to cement one-party control of the U.S. House for at least a generation.”

There are thousands more of these, untold.
"I believe that Americans would agree that the government can’t just make people disappear without any process or explanation. Second, because I want to give the government a chance to admit that they were wrong.

So far the government has not done so."

We live in a country where the most logical conclusion here, and the first thing that came to my mind, is that this is a coverup story for an ICE agent shooting three illegally detained immigrants.

Good lord, this is like saying that analysis reveals that the sky is blue. The real issue is that right-wing extremists are kicking our asses at propaganda, which explains why this is even a story.

Hell yeah.
We have received many questions about whether it’s safe to sign up for No Kings protests while Trump ramps up his attacks on free speech.
